The major feature of the months flooding was the record flooding in the Herbert River and associated far north coastal streams towards the middle of the month. Falls of up to 1300mm in 4 days in the Barron and Herbert districts produced the highest flood on record in the Herbert River, with widespread damage and loss of property. The Bureau's river height observer at Glen Eagle station was forced to evacuate his homestead shortly before it was washed away in a flood which reached the fantastic level of 6.85 metres above the previous record in 1927.
